Physical education applies a holistic approach to the concept of physical activity for young people. It recognises the physical, mental, emotional, and social dimensions of human movement, and emphasises the contribution of physical activity to the promotion of individual and group wellbeing. Learning in physical education involves the acquisition of knowledge, concepts, skills, and attitudes central to physical education, together with recognition of its potential for integration with other curriculum areas. The general aim of physical education is to contribute to the preparation of the pupil for a life of autonomous wellbeing. This aim will be pursued through the

Physical education syllabuses, at all levels, seek to build on movement skills previously developed through the pupil’s participation in physical education. These skills will form the basis for further learning. The pupil will develop the capacity to create more complex movement patterns in a variety of settings and modes. Knowledge and understanding of certain key concepts will be required to enhance the pupil’s experience. The syllabus will allow her/him to engage in an examination of human movement from different perspectives. For example, the pupil will study the physiological basis of human movement, the nature of human performance or will examine human movement from an aesthetic perspective. She/he will be enabled to develop a critical perspective on physical activity, while enjoying active and creative participation. In attempting to promote a positive and constructive attitude to physical activity, it is critical that the pupil learns to value physical activity and demonstrates positive attitudes towards participation. Participation in physical education should promote recognition of individual capacities, a positive attitude towards participation and an appreciation of the benefits of interaction with others.
